To date, APH has identified seven confirmed cases associated with a specific multi-unit dwelling, 100 Warsaw Place in Elliot Lake.
Following a thorough public health investigation of this community cluster, including case and contact interviews, and an on-site environmental inspection, we have determined that some cases are linked to known person-to-person exposures, but not all.
Additional laboratory investigations are ongoing.
Although variants of concern (VOCs) have not yet been detected in Algoma, VOCs have been detected in many Ontario regions, including in northern Ontario, and heightened vigilance is necessary at this time.
